16oz pint at the brewery's newish taproom. A collaboration with fellow YEG sudsters Blind Enthusiasm. The name is a play on the latter's head brewer.
This beer appears a clear, amber highlighted brown colour, with one finger of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly beige head, which leaves some decent bonsai tree pattern lace around the glass as it quickly blows off.
It smells of roasted, and slightly meaty caramel malt, bittersweet cocoa powder, some earthy nuttiness, cafe-au-lait, and some plain leafy, herbal, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy cereal malt, dry chocolate chips, day-old coffee grounds, oily bar-top nuts, and more understated earthy, musty, and dead floral hoppiness.
The carbonation is adequate in its structurally sound frothiness, the body a solid medium weight, and generally smooth, with nothing really getting in the way of a swell time here. It finishes trending dry, the malt character starting to wane.
Overall - this comes across as a pleasantly rendered version of the old-school style, full of flavour, and easy enough to put back as I watch the latest snowfall outside the window. Worth checking out.
